It's understandable. Making the decision to donate body parts of someone you love is a hard decision to make. Especially if it's something that could remind you of that person.
@@tiredman99 True, but if they’re dead (just died/brain dead) & there’s people alive (& awake) that need something it’s low key selfish to refuse. If they’re getting cremated or buried it’s pointless to do that anyways.
@@ventustbb3229 Nah blud doesn't understand the crippling pain of a parent losing their child 💀 Have a kid first and then lose it, before you go on about "being selfish"
The fact that the walk of honor is a real thing for the majority of hospitals when an organ donor is about to go into the transplant surgery makes me so undeniably happy
Sadly this happened to me and my Daughter. My Zo was lost to an auto accident in 2015. Her face was too badly damaged to offer anyone a full face transplant but we were able to use her eyes. I was told one went to a nice man and the other to a child who had their life changed. Once we knew for certain that there was absolutely zero brain activity there wasn't a moment wasted for us to offer whatever we could for transplant. My pumpkin had sustained so much damage that none of the major categories were viable. He heart had stopped and started and been paddled and massaged to the point it just couldn't be trusted to keep on going. Same with lungs, and kidneys, and bladder, and liver. We offered anything and everything but there was only a few things they could use.
Add two more lives that your Zoe will change. I'm an organ donor, but not for my eyes.. personal reasons. But reading your comment about your family's sacrifice makes me realize my personal reasons won't really matter at that point, but my eyes will. I'll let my husband know tonight... Best wishes to you.
@@Kelly_Ben Thank you for your kind words you are appreciated. Part of me wishes I knew who the people were who have her gifts but maybe it's for the best I dont know because id want to see them and that's not fair to the person.
@raptor182cmn bless you for allowing your wonderful daughter to allow others to live ❤❤❤ Bless every single parent and next of kin that is brave enough to say yes❤❤❤❤
We can't really blame the mother for the first refuse, but we can really praise her for accepting afterwards. Other organs are useless to a body, but imagine a funeral where you can't really recognize the face of your daughter. I'm pro organ donations, but I gotta admit it would have been so hard even for me to accept it (at least without seeing the condition of the patient)
@@ChefinBb tbh I wholeheartedly agree but we still need to be sure it's in there and I wouldn't want to see her faceless or with some poor made prosthetic face
"I would like to say goodbye" that hit cause any mother would probably be going through a tug of war between missing their child and be happy to help another live
i was similar when my son had his walk of honour, i made sure i was by the beds of the 3 kids that got his organs so i knew that the cancer didnt stop my amazing son from doing what he always did and helping out the other kids
Um nope but tell that to the woman who have abortions and don't be a Liar you don't onow all the m9ms and some give their child's away I ln adoptions so nope you are wrong
Both my daughters were recipients of organs from other people who did not survive. I am so grateful for those families who made a difficult decision, especially the parents who allowed my oldest to receive the heart of their 13 year old! My oldest passed away last year, after being given an additional 7 years of life. That heart was the last thing to finally give up after the rest of her shut down. It tells me so much more about the sweet child it came from than I ever needed to know! I know they are dear friends on the other side!❤
I think this is based on Katie Stubblefield, who lost her face at 18 due to self-inflicted harm. At 21, Katie became the youngest person in the U.S to undergo the still experimental full face transplant surgery that looks like what the girl originally had in the video.
For everyone saying “low key selfish” and shit think about it. A mother already grieving and traumatized by the fact her daughter who she probably loved beyond anything in the universe is not even given a whole day to grieve before she’s asked by doctors if they can remove her daughters face and plaster it onto another person. The thought through all of this to a mother who’s just lost her baby was probably very haunting to think of. And the pain of seeing her daughter’s face alive but the rest of her daughter being dead was probably too much to bear. So it makes perfectly logical sense that she’d say no to someone she’s never seen or met before wanting to take her daughters FACE
Thank you! Everyone is saying she’s selfish but could you imagine being a mother and seeing your child’s face on someone who is not your child? That sounds like The Twilight Zone and if you were a mom, that would sound horrifying, especially being asked about this hours after you just lost your kid. You’re still grieving and someone wants to use your child’s face for someone else. What she did was more than kind, so kind you can’t put it into words, but I wouldn’t blame her even if she said no.
I honestly think the young girl, if told that, she wouldn't have been upset if she found out she said no. She seemed like a very down to earth, analytical kid. She would've understood. It is unfortunately the job of hospitals to ask these things, and if I understand correctly the doctor understood and didn't try to pressure her at all.
It’s a good reason to make your wishes known beforehand (in germany you can fill out a document to declare that you want/don’t want to donate your organs no idea if the US has something like that). This way your next of kin doesn’t have to make such monumental decisions while grieving
Even in death, your loved one is still positively impacting people's lives as I'm sure they did to yours, very sorry for your loss hopefully some kind words will ease the pain.
@@CHIEF.42your actually a lozer no way your telling someone to cry after losing a loved one. Get a life. How would u feel if you mom di*d or anyone in your family. I hope u rethink your life decisions and get some help.
If only face transplants turned out that well. And there wasn’t the constant anxiety of your body one day rejecting the face, leaving you faceless if you live. Woooo love life
Donor conversations are hard!! When my husband passed away, he was a donor, and it’s hard to have that conversation so quickly after getting life-shattering news. I understand they need to move quickly for donor parts to be successful…but it’s still hard.

Your husband was and is a hero. I hope you feel comfort knowing that he lives on having touched the lives of so many. Thank you for making those hard choices. You did right by him, and he would have been proud.
I’m sure it was hard, and I’m very sorry for your loss. But it’s also so amazing how many people he was able to help. Lots of love to both you and your husband
I couldnt imagine how hard it would be losing my daughter...then seeing her face alive but knowing its not her. Its also a rare opportunity to be able to say good bye to someone whose passed 😢😢😢
I hate that they never include the title of the show in these shorts and we have to wade through the comments hoping an astute individual mentions the name.
They didn't outright show this but the doctors intentionally timed it such that they'd meet in the elevator, probably in hopes that maybe seeing her mangled face combined with her lively personality would maybe convince the mother to donate her passed daughter's face. The mother realised this and did comment on it saying that it was convenient how she met the girl just as she was about to leave the hospital but still she agreed to do it anyways. It was kinda manipulative of the doctors but it was well intentioned, her daughter is gone either ways but this way she could still give another daughter a normal life that her own daughter can't have.
@Nick-H98 There is no way he isn't aware of that. It's obvious. You know that he knows that, too. Your comment is absolutely pointless and only serves as an attempt to refute what? The ounce of happiness this clip brought this individual? What a lovely soul you are.
It’s easy to judge the Mom’s refusal if you’ve never been in her situation. It was beautiful when she saw the disfigurement and realized the need was greater than her struggle. Very good acting all around!
Wow this brought tears to my eyes. The hurt of someone else having her daughters face until she saw the girl who needed it and she gave her daughters face to her what a beautiful thing to do
Damn the last part made me think of the day i had to say goodbye to my dad st the hospital. He died as i held his hand apologizing for not being the best son i could be and telling him i would make him proud.
@k.popper2620 he was the best father that a son could have. He was always there to help me no matter what. I was on drugs for a long time and he is the reason I got clean. He was a addict also and got sober. He always told me when your ready to get clean and sober call me and ill be there. He was by my side for a month until I was done with withdrawal. He saved my life and I'm sober today cause of him. He passed away on Christmas day 2 years ago 😢
I can't imagine knowing they might have to do a close casket for the girls' funeral because the dead girl has her face removed for the donation. Possibly cremated. Either way, parents shouldn't have to go through this but it's understandable.
I can see how hard of a decision this would be and how eerie it would be to think of someone else walking around with your loved one's face but I can also see how meeting the person would be the best way to break down these mental "walls" that make you unable to allow it.
I saw some people hate on the mom for being upset they asked her. From the mom’s point of view I understand. My dad OD on some meds and ended up in a coma. We found out he was brain dead and my dad said he never wants to live in life support. We still have home 5 days to make sure he wouldn’t wake up. During that time, seeing my dad have seizures and basically dying in front of us, they approached us about organ donation. At first we were so upset because how dare you ask about taking organs and parts away of our loved one why they are still technically alive. We are losing our loved one and want to keep every single part of him because losing him is so hard. Don’t touch him let us stay with him type of thing. But we talked and I think I was the first to get on board with it. We agreed that why we are losing our dad and husband we could stop someone else from losing their loved one. He saved 5 people from dying and his tissues and muscles improved the quality of life of many. I know even tho we couldn’t ask him, he would have wanted that. It’s so hard.
In case anyone is curious, the recipient of a face transplant does not look like the donor. The tissues of the donor's face will contour to the bones of the recipient's face. The recipient will wind up looking like neither their old self, nor the donor.
My grandma was an organ doner and she died from suicide and they didn’t tell us about the walk of honor she saved 7 lives but they didn’t want to put all the work in to doing it. I never got to say goodbye
Thank ya man really appreciated she took the easy way out with a pew pew and I seen her she went brain dead and I was 8 at the time so I wasn’t allowed in the icu… I could’ve said goodbye but them people din give a crap
I'm guessing if they're "stable", they have time to organize such a beautiful tradition... but if the patient is circling the drain, and the organs are at risk of being lost, they can't take the time.
Im sorry but the 16 year old was not in pain was talking pretty good. Studies have shown it was estimated that up to 40% of patients are misdiagnosed as being “brain dead” when in fact they had varying levels of consciousness. so my daughter would not be giving up her face until i have had time to believe it for my self and she has given time to fight. I would never make a split decision like that so quickly
That part at the end when she was saying good bye. That was very hard right there when she had to let her go. But her real daughter will be with her in her heart.
My son he was brain dead and I didn’t the same thing I donated his organs and he safe six lives and away it was a good thing he’s alive not in his body but in another persons body’s
This stirred up painful memories for me, as I’ve had the dreadful experience of having had to say ‘goodbye’ to my own 14 year old daughter after meningococcal septicaemia took her from us in about 48 hours in 2004, just a few weeks before Christmas. The thought of having the opportunity to once again see her lovely face full of life would, for me, be a no-brainer, even if different eyes looked out at me from it. Knowing the caring nature of my daughter and her willingness to help others, it’s something I feel she wouldn’t have had a problem with. In the fictional episode here though, I can however understand the mother’s initial refusal to even consider it. Ultimately, for me it’s a moot point ~ the first partial face transplant only occurred in 2005 and the first full face transplant wasn’t achieved until 2010.
My brother made his family proud when he passed away and we were able to help a lot of people with parts of him so i always think still going on in them
I have lost a daughter, but if my daughter could help save another person, then I would allow that. Yes, I was in terrible pain when she died, but I would feel guilty if I wouldn't help to save another person.
They set the mom up in the elevator to force her to look at the potential recipient. The mom's initial reaction was completely understandable.😢 This should always be a choice and not a manipulation by medical staff.
@@ladydamiana6841 Or that the actual plot of the episode is that they tried to guilt trip the mother into donating her daughters face by bringing the girl into the elevator
Thank you for pointing this out. I'd find it upsetting. It's basically guilt tripping a traumatized person into letting them rip of the face of their dead child. And that's not okay, because it does not respect their decision.
if I was the other girl that had her face damaged I would feel terrified everyday to look in the mirror after I got the new face. I would be thinking about how it was someone else’s face I was wearing.
@@judithsixkiller5586Yep. Plus there’s lots of other procedures that can be done to basically make minor adjustments, as well as wound revisions and plastic surgery to work on scarring if it’s very warped. But in this day and age where we do all sorts of skin grafts and transplants, and major reconstructive surgeries, it’s entirely possible for it to go well and look pretty good. Maybe not perfect, but enough that passing by someone on the street, you wouldn’t notice anything unusual unless you were really staring for a bit.
Oooh I so thought you meant you were taking care of a patient and then pushed them down on the ground because the walk of honor was happening or they were in the way maybe
I had a cousin who did the walk of honor after a car crash, though I wasn’t their with my aunt and uncle I understand how this is both painful for the family of the donor yet hopeful that their tragedy can bring hope to other families and prevent the deaths of those receiving
I've had this discussion with my husband and our daughters. When that time comes, donate everything that can be used, donate the rest to a medical school or cremate. No funeral, only a celebration of my life and that I would be reunited with my parents, grandparents, and the child I miscarried. I won't need the body anymore.
when i watched this episode, my mom walked in during the surgery right when they were holding up the face and she ran out and screamed and i was like NO MOM THIS EPISODE IS ACTUALLY HEARTBREAKING BUT TOUCHING AT THE SAME TIME
Imagine the amount of pain that mom would be holding inside that her daughters face is going to be rip off that she gave birth to and embraced for her whole life it's really heart breaking. On the other side the child is getting new life with new face that's start of a new journey for her that's a miracle for her. Two faces of life at same time one going to the God and one starting a new life, it's a happy as well as sad too at the same time and no words to say all we can do it stay silent
Tbh I still would’ve said no unless my daughter specifically told me before she wanted to donate her organs and body parts. The mom here really is amazing bc I could never
That walk of honor wrecked me, so beautiful. I wish we would’ve gotten to do a walk of honor for my brother. I didn’t even know he saved multiple people’s lives and gave someone his beautiful blue eyes so they could see again until more than 10 years after he died. It’s been 14 years since he passed.
_Several people i know always say _*_"if i die in a car accident, dont trip, its my time to go.."_* _"but, if you Maim me?? Ill sue the everlivin shit out of you!!"_ lol 🧐🤔😳🤷🏼 #GoodPoint! #Understandable..
The Good Doctor. One of the greater episodes. The doctor pushing the patient in the elevator was tasked to convince the next of kin and pulled it off flawlessly and indirectly. The mother found out, but still thanked the doctor.
I can't imagine being the girl who got the transplant. Living with a face that wasn't quite mine. Knowing a girl younger than me died before I got it. Knowing that was the face of a daughter. I'd be in so much grief but also be inspired to live a life fulfilling enough for us both.
I'm still putting it into my will that i want to donate my body to those that can use it. I've been suicidal for decades and I know my life can just poof in a split second. I want people to use what I never learned to appreciate anyway.
The mom wanted a chance to say goodbye to her daughter and the kid got her daughter’s face so it was better to kiss the living face of her daughter goodbye then no way of saying bye. Technically she was kissing her daughter goodbye since it was her face.
Look it up, people who have been declared braindead have woken up. Examples are Trenton McKinley of Alabama, Sam Hemming, Carina Melchior and more. The way they forced the mom to sacrifice her daughter when there are cases where people have woken up is quite disgusting. This is a series but that does not mean that this could happen in real life.
Then they were not "brain dead" in the real clinical definition of the term, brain trauma and injury doesnt equate to brain death as in the case of Trenton Mckinley, there are other etiologies that may mimick "braindeath" but there exists a chance of recovery/maintaining life. The term is often thrown around in and out of hospitals which makes the matter even more confusing, but when actual brain death is diagnosed correctly after a thorough medico/legal exam, there usually is no coming back, there has been zero reports of adults recovering from it.
They may have been medically dead, but they definitely weren't actually brain dead if they were revived. People have only cheated death when there's still enough brain activity to revive the rest of the body.
I’d like everyone to know something. If you have ‘organ donor’ on anything government documents, if you need to go to the hospital for anything life threatening, they will do as little as possible to save you so they can donate your organs. Never put that you want to be an organ donor
Holy cow, this hit hard. The walk of honor destroyed me.
What happened?

I can see how hard of a decision this would be and how eerie it would be to think of someone else walking around with your loved one's face but I can also see how meeting the person would be the best way to break down these mental "walls" that make you unable to allow it.
That walk of honour is spot on. My wife passed suddenly last year and donated her organs, in the UK 🇬🇧 ,and was exactly like that. ❤
Wow that last bit "I want to say goodbye" gave her a kiss and left. 😢
I saw some people hate on the mom for being upset they asked her. From the mom’s point of view I understand. My dad OD on some meds and ended up in a coma. We found out he was brain dead and my dad said he never wants to live in life support. We still have home 5 days to make sure he wouldn’t wake up. During that time, seeing my dad have seizures and basically dying in front of us, they approached us about organ donation. At first we were so upset because how dare you ask about taking organs and parts away of our loved one why they are still technically alive. We are losing our loved one and want to keep every single part of him because losing him is so hard. Don’t touch him let us stay with him type of thing. But we talked and I think I was the first to get on board with it. We agreed that why we are losing our dad and husband we could stop someone else from losing their loved one. He saved 5 people from dying and his tissues and muscles improved the quality of life of many. I know even tho we couldn’t ask him, he would have wanted that. It’s so hard.
In case anyone is curious, the recipient of a face transplant does not look like the donor. The tissues of the donor's face will contour to the bones of the recipient's face. The recipient will wind up looking like neither their old self, nor the donor.
My grandma was an organ doner and she died from suicide and they didn’t tell us about the walk of honor she saved 7 lives but they didn’t want to put all the work in to doing it. I never got to say goodbye
That’s bull crap, I’m sorry you lost her that way but at least she managed to save seven others. What they did was foul, I hope you’re ok
Thank ya man really appreciated she took the easy way out with a pew pew and I seen her she went brain dead and I was 8 at the time so I wasn’t allowed in the icu… I could’ve said goodbye but them people din give a crap
@@Davidscomixlook at comment below
I'm guessing if they're "stable", they have time to organize such a beautiful tradition... but if the patient is circling the drain, and the organs are at risk of being lost, they can't take the time.
@@Kelly_Ben she was stable she went brain dead…
Lucky thia ain't on ig reels
Bro the amount of shit I immediately thought of when I saw her face😂
Nah💀
I was about to say, if this was posted in IG reels, it’s wraps
"Hear me out"
I saw those Goku black gifs the first thing I saw this shit 😭😭😂😂
Just saw it, this episode had me in tears NGL
She is so nice and kind
DR. WAS IN THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD! A GREAT MOVIE!
Dude, this is from an episode of The Good Doctor, which is a TV series. What the hell are you talking about?
@@mask938they were trying to say that the doctor shown in The Good Doctor was also in the movie Interview with God
No way would it come out identical to the doner.
The bones (& muscles) under the skin would give a different shape to the recipients face.
It doesnt look identical to the donar
It’s the same actress lol, in real life it wouldn’t be like this
It would also have alot more bruising I'm pretty sure
It’s not identical to the donor. What are you talking about?
@@mask938
The mother would & could not "see" her daughter's face on the recipient.
I've not seen a face transplant yet that looked THAT good after surgery.
Im sorry but the 16 year old was not in pain was talking pretty good. Studies have shown it was estimated that up to 40% of patients are misdiagnosed as being “brain dead” when in fact they had varying levels of consciousness. so my daughter would not be giving up her face until i have had time to believe it for my self and she has given time to fight. I would never make a split decision like that so quickly
Something as simple as a thought of having to make this choice is heart breaking
Blessings to her for being so generous natured and allowing this young girl to go on in life and be happy, WOW this touched my heart 💞😏
That part at the end when she was saying good bye. That was very hard right there when she had to let her go. But her real daughter will be with her in her heart.
San Jose Earthquakes sux I like how they’re trolling that team lmfao 🤣
My son he was brain dead and I didn’t the same thing I donated his organs and he safe six lives and away it was a good thing he’s alive not in his body but in another persons body’s
I’m sorry..
When she said can I ask you for a favor, ...can I say goodbye ? Dang , that made me cry!
This stirred up painful memories for me, as I’ve had the dreadful experience of having had to say ‘goodbye’ to my own 14 year old daughter after meningococcal septicaemia took her from us in about 48 hours in 2004, just a few weeks before Christmas. The thought of having the opportunity to once again see her lovely face full of life would, for me, be a no-brainer, even if different eyes looked out at me from it. Knowing the caring nature of my daughter and her willingness to help others, it’s something I feel she wouldn’t have had a problem with.
In the fictional episode here though, I can however understand the mother’s initial refusal to even consider it.
Ultimately, for me it’s a moot point ~ the first partial face transplant only occurred in 2005 and the first full face transplant wasn’t achieved until 2010.
The name of the show is called The Good Doctor
😭 the writers and actors of this show really know how to make me cry 😭
So I will have perfectly aligned eyes and still look like a lot of chewing gun
A wad
She should have just mewed
My brother made his family proud when he passed away and we were able to help a lot of people with parts of him so i always think still going on in them
I have lost a daughter, but if my daughter could help save another person, then I would allow that. Yes, I was in terrible pain when she died, but I would feel guilty if I wouldn't help to save another person.
They set the mom up in the elevator to force her to look at the potential recipient. The mom's initial reaction was completely understandable.😢 This should always be a choice and not a manipulation by medical staff.
Or the hospital staff made sure mom was fully informed about her decision....which is why she reversed it.
@@ladydamiana6841 Or that the actual plot of the episode is that they tried to guilt trip the mother into donating her daughters face by bringing the girl into the elevator
Thank you for pointing this out. I'd find it upsetting. It's basically guilt tripping a traumatized person into letting them rip of the face of their dead child.
And that's not okay, because it does not respect their decision.
That kiss at the end, I'm fucking bawling 😔😢
That is really noble.
You baby died and in the same time give samoene else a better life
if I was the other girl that had her face damaged I would feel terrified everyday to look in the mirror after I got the new face. I would be thinking about how it was someone else’s face I was wearing.
That was a heart breaking heart warming moment
Why do you think that way?
Please reply to me!
How can it be both, bruh?
@@TheFunnyDictator you're in your edgy era little bro 💀💀💀
@@MaxJiang-gx7ko What makes you say so, bruv?
"I'd like to say goodbye."
Damn, didn't think a YT short would almost make me cry.
That face kiss at the end was so wholesome 🥹
No matter how you look how you walk how you talk you're still beautiful woman and you will always be a sweet cute beautiful woman❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
no way can that face transplant be that perfect
It's a tv show..
Even if it had some swelling and distortion, it would still be better than what she had.
@@Reece-Mincher3601 exactly ,
@@judithsixkiller5586 going by your reply you have not understood my comment , but if you ask me to explain it to you ? i will be happy to do so , x
@@judithsixkiller5586Yep. Plus there’s lots of other procedures that can be done to basically make minor adjustments, as well as wound revisions and plastic surgery to work on scarring if it’s very warped. But in this day and age where we do all sorts of skin grafts and transplants, and major reconstructive surgeries, it’s entirely possible for it to go well and look pretty good. Maybe not perfect, but enough that passing by someone on the street, you wouldn’t notice anything unusual unless you were really staring for a bit.
Ayo that made me sad bro🥲
I absolutely adore the sense of humor on the girl who needed the transplant
My granddaughter walking across a street, hit and run. We donated her heart and kidneys
I had to push a patient down for an honor walk once and I hated it
Why did you hate it? Was it really sad?
@@Crab780 it was fine until the family had to do their final goodbyes
Oooh I so thought you meant you were taking care of a patient and then pushed them down on the ground because the walk of honor was happening or they were in the way maybe
@@saltyboi9357that must have been heartbreaking to watch.
@@Crab780 I normally not an emotional person but my eyes were getting awfully watery
I had a cousin who did the walk of honor after a car crash, though I wasn’t their with my aunt and uncle I understand how this is both painful for the family of the donor yet hopeful that their tragedy can bring hope to other families and prevent the deaths of those receiving
i cant even comprehend the anguish that mother would feel in that moment....
I've had this discussion with my husband and our daughters. When that time comes, donate everything that can be used, donate the rest to a medical school or cremate. No funeral, only a celebration of my life and that I would be reunited with my parents, grandparents, and the child I miscarried. I won't need the body anymore.
Thanks
Her daughter is still alive ❤ in another body and another soal.
Any doctor that can pull this off is a true artist
This show is called the good doctor
I know it will be tough for anyone to make this decision but this also makes me feel glad that she will still have a part of her around somewhere 🥹
THIS SHOW HAS THE AMAZING ABILITY to make me tear up or sob like a baby in almost every episode and I love it n
So this is the Nicolas Cage and John Travolta movie "Face Off" concept.
when i watched this episode, my mom walked in during the surgery right when they were holding up the face and she ran out and screamed and i was like NO MOM THIS EPISODE IS ACTUALLY HEARTBREAKING BUT TOUCHING AT THE SAME TIME
It always feels too heavy until you see someone else's burden..
Imagine the amount of pain that mom would be holding inside that her daughters face is going to be rip off that she gave birth to and embraced for her whole life it's really heart breaking.
On the other side the child is getting new life with new face that's start of a new journey for her that's a miracle for her.
Two faces of life at same time one going to the God and one starting a new life, it's a happy as well as sad too at the same time and no words to say all we can do it stay silent
Tbh I still would’ve said no unless my daughter specifically told me before she wanted to donate her organs and body parts. The mom here really is amazing bc I could never
'I'd like to say goodbye" The most painfull and heartbreaking moment
That was one of the most heartwarming short i have ever seen ..
I love the power of fiction
show is called the good doctor
That walk of honor wrecked me, so beautiful. I wish we would’ve gotten to do a walk of honor for my brother. I didn’t even know he saved multiple people’s lives and gave someone his beautiful blue eyes so they could see again until more than 10 years after he died. It’s been 14 years since he passed.
Karin tindle you will never be forgotten by me or anyone else may you now and forever more rest in peace with God above 😢🙏
Damn. That’s both heartwarming and breaking
_Several people i know always say _*_"if i die in a car accident, dont trip, its my time to go.."_*
_"but, if you Maim me?? Ill sue the everlivin shit out of you!!"_ lol
🧐🤔😳🤷🏼
#GoodPoint!
#Understandable..
CZcams is not supposed to make me this emotional.
I miss Melendez and Claire.
No face transplant ever looks that good.
The saying goodbye part hits hard. 😢
NAH THE ONLY PART I CARED OF WAS WHEN SHE SAID THE QUAKES IM IN AJAX THATS OUR RIVAL
The Good Doctor. One of the greater episodes. The doctor pushing the patient in the elevator was tasked to convince the next of kin and pulled it off flawlessly and indirectly. The mother found out, but still thanked the doctor.
Thanks you 🎉
So they guilt tripped the mother into donating her daughters face... that's not fucked
@@LiveEnd06 i know, but for some reason they still had the mother think it was a positive
@@physiognomies7445 Yeah, emotional manipulation, sounds reeaaaaaal positive lmao, these shows are something else
I went to a walk of honor two days ago..I can't even describe it. It was for my best friend
You are a brave woman and I'm sending all my love up to you and you?
Family❤❤❤❤you did a wonderful thing❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I would never give my face to someone else period.
Movie/Show name?
The good doctor idk what episode
@@luveyy thanks
@@ja-nozreaper5865 Yw
I can't imagine being the girl who got the transplant. Living with a face that wasn't quite mine. Knowing a girl younger than me died before I got it. Knowing that was the face of a daughter.
I'd be in so much grief but also be inspired to live a life fulfilling enough for us both.
I'm still putting it into my will that i want to donate my body to those that can use it. I've been suicidal for decades and I know my life can just poof in a split second. I want people to use what I never learned to appreciate anyway.
What was even happening at the end?
Saying goodbye to her daughter, giving her a kiss.
They said it better👇
The mom wanted a chance to say goodbye to her daughter and the kid got her daughter’s face so it was better to kiss the living face of her daughter goodbye then no way of saying bye. Technically she was kissing her daughter goodbye since it was her face.
@@taron8475That edit was funny lol
Look it up, people who have been declared
braindead have woken up. Examples are Trenton McKinley of Alabama, Sam Hemming,
Carina Melchior and more. The way they forced the mom to sacrifice her daughter when there are cases where people have woken up is quite disgusting. This is a series but that does not mean that this could happen in real life.
It actually does happen, it’s rare but it does happen
Forced? 😂
Then they were not "brain dead" in the real clinical definition of the term, brain trauma and injury doesnt equate to brain death as in the case of Trenton Mckinley, there are other etiologies that may mimick "braindeath" but there exists a chance of recovery/maintaining life. The term is often thrown around in and out of hospitals which makes the matter even more confusing, but when actual brain death is diagnosed correctly after a thorough medico/legal exam, there usually is no coming back, there has been zero reports of adults recovering from it.
They may have been medically dead, but they definitely weren't actually brain dead if they were revived. People have only cheated death when there's still enough brain activity to revive the rest of the body.
I’d like everyone to know something. If you have ‘organ donor’ on anything government documents, if you need to go to the hospital for anything life threatening, they will do as little as possible to save you so they can donate your organs. Never put that you want to be an organ donor
The makeup team deserves an Emmy for this episode alone. The Good Doctor is a great show
CZcams you’re not supposed to make people cry, stahppp😂
"shes braindead" 💀
?
We're both going to hell💀
Why is that funny? It’s a medical term.
